A Play, A Pie and A Pint: Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo?

A Play, A Pie and A Pint Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo? Written & Directed by: Brian Logan Doors: 12pm (12:30pm Monday)  Show Starts: 1pm Unreserved Seating Co-presented with Traverse Theatre and Aberdeen Performing Arts.  A freewheeling historical fantasia about one of the most contested plays in Scottish history. 1756. The Scottish Enlightenment. Despite severe restrictions on all theatre, the minister John Home staged his play Douglas to much outrage within the Church of Scotland. What followed was a church stramash and a fierce debate amongst leading clergymen and philosophers. Was this Scotland’s answer to Shakespeare? Or was Home simply a blasphemous hack?  Whaur’s Yer Wullie Shakespeare Noo? is a new Scots comedy by Brian Logan that playfully re-imagines the events around this infamous staging, and asks whether any decent person should be seen dead in the theatre!   Play Only Tickets (Tue - Thurs): Students – Discounted play only ticket available with a valid student ID (physical or digital).
